Christmas came and went... and on Friday we boarded a plane to sunny California. After a slight delay in Albuquerque due to snow, we finally made it to San Diego. Hannah enjoyed the flight and did very well having her own seat and using her carseat. She didn't nap but was well entertained by the little boy in front of her who shared his new Christmas toys.
We were picked up by a limo in San Diego, who knew that just the 3 of us could bring 5 bags!!! Plus a stroller and a carseat! And of course, Mimi and Pops brought 4 bags of their own! We arrived at the Del Coronado Hotel and were immediately taken to our beach front cottage! It was beautiful!!! Right on the beach, two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one large living area, another smaller living area, a full kitchen, an outside personal hot tub and our own fire pit on the porch. We ate dinner at the hotel and turned in early about 8:30pm because we were all still on Texas time and Hannah still hadn't taken a nap!
Saturday we woke up and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, it was cool outside but the ocean was stunning. We walked around the hotel where we passed the ice rink! An outdoor ice rink on the beach!!! After breakfast we walked down the marina and looked at the boats and walked up the streets and around by the beach on our way back to our rooms. We spent Saturday and Sunday relaxing in our cottage and sitting out on our porch watching the sunsets and admiring the beautiful beach next to our fire pit.
Monday was a very special day!!! Hannah's First Birthday!!! The weather was beautiful and we went to the San Diego Zoo. We saw lots of unique animals and Hannah giggled at the apes! She also loved the skifari gondola ride! That evening we had a birthday dinner at the Boat House restaurant on the pier. Tuesday, we were able to stay until noon before packing up (this time we managed to get down to 4 suitcases, making it 8 with Mimi and Pops!) and heading back to Texas. The flights went well again but Hannah did not nap. She really did great! I forgot to mention though that when we arrived at the hotel one of our stroller wheels had fallen off and was unrepairable! Oh well, we looked like the Beverly Hillbillies with our 3 wheeled stroller but we didn't mind! We made it back in town late last night to a dirty house and two anxious dogs! I have a terrible head cold and have spent the day getting laundry done, unpacking, and putting up Christmas presents! I got a new camera for Christmas and took lots of pictures on our trip! I cannot figure out how to upload them to my computer yet but as soon as I do, I will post pictures!
